I LOVE THIS PRODUCT IT HAS MADE IT TO THE TOP 10 XMAS LIST. HOWEVER I WAS KIND OF OFFENDED THAT THE CREATERS WERENT SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HOW MANY BOYS LOVE COOKING NOW…AS THIS GENERATION IS THE ONE GROWING UP WATCHING THE FOOD NETWORK AS IT IS ONE OF THE FEW CHANNELS WE KNOW THERE ARE NO BAD WORDS OR VIOLENCE.ITS A GOOD THING MY SON HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER EVERYTHING MADE FOR HIS AGE GROUP FOR COKING BEING PINK. OTHER THAN THAT I CANT WAIT TO TRY THIS OUT WITH HIM.

i do not own the product described above, but as a teenage girl living in Australia, i feel that this is just ffurthering the obesity crisis that has taken over Australia and the US. Why was the toy approved when there is a clear crisis that needs attention?!
October 1st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Ashleigh- you have to teach children that you can have treats, but in moderation. Yes, there is a problmem with obestity and we need our children to eat healthy foods. A cupcake here and there is not the problem, so this does not further the obesity issues. There are a lot of reasons for obesity among children, but a cupcake maker is not one of them. I think it is great that you have a taken an interesd in this issue. Just remember we want healthy well-rounded children :)

December 25th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
I used regular oven baked cake mix and canned frosting, works like a charm
December 25th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
I heard about the product on a morning show and gave it to my daughter for Christmas. She just made her first cupcake and it is HORRIBLE! This product is a total waste. The mixing bowl is too small, the mixing tool is worthless. The cake batter was easy to make with a little water, but it was like a dry paste. The frosting was annoying to mix and has the texture of toothpaste, very gritty. The frosting machine is a joke, it did nothing but fling frosting everywhere. This is NOT a good product. She loves to bake with me and helps me in the kitchen all the time. I just thought this would give her more autonomy with me doing only the microwave, plus she could do it more often with only one cupcake rather than a whole pan. I’m taking it back. I would rather her learn how to follow a real recipe, learn math skills with measuring and eat foods with wholesome ingredients. I took a small nibble and it truly tasted horrible. The texture is disgusting and the cake and frosting are both somehow gooey and powdery at the same time. Don’t waste your money on this one, baking the real thing is easier and better. This puppy is going right back to the store. What a ripoff gimmic!

Hi I just got the cupcake maker for Christmas and I love it i think it is great but I am having trouble with the frosting any help or ideas?
December 26th, 2008 at 11:56 am
I totally agree with Melissa. I searched and searched for one because my daughter was so excited about it. I finally found one online and was so happy to give it to her for Christmas. By the time we had done 2 cupcakes yesterday I was disgusted. The frosting was nothing but a huge blob on top of the cupcake. No pretty design like the box shows or the commercials. It tasted awful and my little girl was unhappy which made me more upset. Nothing like a little editing on TV to make something sell because this was so not worth the money or the mess.
December 30th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Ok. My 10 year old daughter really wanted this. We made the first cupcake together (vanilla with strawberry frosting). We both agreed that the cupcake (frosting included) was absolutely disgusting. My daughter’s exact words were “This is a farce”. We should write to those people. Is it me? We followed the directions exactly.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Just got this for daughters Christmas. Contacting manufacturer to try to get my $30 back. If anyone can demonstrate the frosting be applied correctly..please post a video link. All we get is a big mess and a glop in the middle that covers no more than half the cupcake.

I LUV EM CANT GET ENOUGH OF EM
September 14th, 2009 at 9:58 am
I would not recommend the cupcake maker. The cake part was easy enough, but the frosting was a mess. It was difficult to load it into the tube without it leaking out. Then when the cupcake was supposed to spin it just made a huge mess because our frosting was not the correct consistency! The cupcake did not smell the least bit appetizing. In fact, I couldn’t get either of my kids to try it. We are on our way back to Target return it right now!
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:05 pm
this is a very cool website

Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will return again – taking your feeds also, Thanks.
March 12th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
That wasn’t the wisest move on his part, but luckily you were able to get that taken care of.
June 6th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Fantastic information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!

hello rezs der frek you baby justin bieber love you

I made a cupcake for my sister with yellow cake mix, and it turned out looking like spongebob; the entire thing was bright yellow and it had holes at the top. Also, I smelled it up close, and it smelled funny. However, my sister and I tasted it and it was pretty good. I made a second cupcake for myself with chocolate chip mix, and when I took it out of the microwave it looked the same as when I put it in except it was as hard as a rock. In fact, to test it out, I dropped it on the floor on purpose. It bounced up and hit me in the face! It actually hurt! I would recommend this product to anybody who likes Spongebob and enjoys making weird looking cupcakes that taste amazing even though it might not smell it. Lol.
June 29th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Update: It’s an ok gift that you would get, but don’t waste your money when you can get a cupcake that tastes just as good without smelling and looking weird. And if you know Spongebob, I don’t think he would enjoy sort of eating himself.
November 4th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
where can i buy one at?
